THE REPLACEMENT
By
Christiane France
A Hennessey Falls story.
This
new series revolves around a group of bars, clubs and restaurants. The first
story is The Replacement with the main character being Noah Davidson, the
owner of the Davidson Restaurant Group.
Blurb:
When Noah loses his life partner to kidney
failure, he needs a replacement to help run his restaurant business. After
a couple of tryout failures, Noah interviews Gavin Murray. Gavin has everything
needed to be the perfect general manager. He has the education, the experience,
and the polish and sophistication required in a top executive. The only problem
is that Noah finds him sexually attractive in a way that borders on obsession.
He wants Gavin but he tells himself that he can’t have him. He’s still mourning
Brett and he’s far from ready to move on with his life. If he had any sense
he’d turn down Gavin’s application. Instead, he agrees to give Gavin a
three-month trial period by convincing himself Gavin is his only option and
business comes first.
Excerpt:
I
checked my watch. Ten minutes past three and I’d started to sweat. Another ten
minutes went by, and then another ten.
At
one minute past three-thirty Gavin came through the front door of Jenny’s,
looking a tad flustered and with his shirt half out of his pants. “Sorry, Noah.
I got held up in traffic. You ready to roll?”
A
traffic jam? Oh, sure that was a great excuse. I wondered what he’d really been
doing, then decided I didn’t want to know. If he was expecting me to ask how
come he was running around town when he was supposed to be working, then he was
in for a big disappointment. I was annoyed for being kept waiting, but I wasn’t
about to inquire into anything, especially the reason for his ruffled
appearance. It was none of my business. So I simply smiled, pushed back my
chair and got to my feet. “Is it that time already?”
“It’s
actually later than that. A little after three-thirty to be exact.” The look
that accompanied his reply said he knew that I knew what time it was and
probably to the fraction of a second.
